APMR #4, Avalon Mini-Games #125

How many times have you looked at some new figures in the store only to say “Those are neat but I don't play that game.” Or seen a game but not had the figures to play? Now that problem is solved. This is a game of miniatures combat that utilizes any miniatures you own.

With these rules you can recreate classic military battles, like Gettysburg and the Battle of Hastings. You can see what would have happened if a squad of Viet-Nam-Era U.S. Troops went to the Alamo and fought against the Mexicans, or if space Marines were helping the Greeks at Thermopylae. Anything you'd like to do is fair game.

The game itself is divided into four primary parts - Skirmish Combat, Mass Combat, Vehicles and Creatures and Special Powers. The rules presented here are for

for special powers as well as extensive army list and advice for creating your own lists and games.

One of the most important things to remember is your imagination. Just because the stats of the vehicle you are using is the same as a jeep, that doesn't mean it has to BE a jeep. If the rest of your arm is a caveman army (Like the Flintstones), then the jeep could be a stone jeep, Powered by their feet. The mechanics of the system work the same, but the fun can be amplified by the special effects you employ.

You will need a copy of APMR #1 to use the systems supplied in this product.

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
